Performance @ Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour

Intro:

A

Verse 1:
   A
My cards are on the table, yours are in your hand
D
Chances are, tonight you've already got plans
    Bm                   D                      A
And chances are, I will talk myself to sleep again
            A
You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high
        D
Wishful thoughts forget to mention when someting's really not right
    Bm                      D                       A
And I will block out these voices of reason in my head

Pre-Chorus:
E
 And the voices say
 D            A      E
"You are not the exception"
 D               E
"You will never learn your lesson"

Chorus 1:
A
Foolish one, stop checking your mailbox
       D
for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come
Bm
You will take the long way
                           E
You will take the long way down

Interlude:
A  D  Bm  E

Verse 2:
D                 A
 I took a chance, I took a shot
E                         F#m
 And you might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not
D                  A
 You took a swing, I took it hard
E                      F#m
 And down here on the ground I see who you are

Chorus 2:
D                            A
 I'm sick and tired of your attitude
                         E
I'm feeling like I don't know you
                     F#m
You tell me that you love me then cut me down
D                       A
 And I need you like a heartbeat
                       E
But you know you got a mean streak
                 F#m
Makes me run for cover when you're around
D           E
 Here's to you and your temper
         A                          F#m
Yes, I remember what you said last night
      D                              E
And I know that you see what you're doing to me
        A   D  Bm  E
Tell me why

Bridge 1:
  F#m               D
Why do you have to make me feel small?
   A                     E
So you can feel whole inside?
 F#m                D
Why do you have to put down my dreams?
        B                         D   E
So that you're the only thing on my mind?

Bridge 2:
       A
'Cause you got her on your arm, and me in the wings
     D
I'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring
    Bm                D                  A
And you will say you had the best of intentions
    Bm                    D         E
And maybe I will finally learn my lesson

Chorus 1:
A
Foolish one, stop checking your mailbox
       D
for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come
Bm
You will take the long way
                           E
You will take the long way down

A
Foolish one, stop checking your mailbox
       D
for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come
Bm
You will learn the hard way
                        E   A
Instead of just walking out

Outro:
D                        Bm  E
  Ain't never gonna come
A
Foolish one, the day is gonna come
            D
for your confessions of love

When all is said and done
   Bm                           E
He just wasn't the one, no, he just wasn't the one
D                    A
 I take a step back, let you go
E                    F#m                   A
 I told you I'm not bulletproof, now you know
